"It's beautiful," she breathed.Steven smiled at her admiration. "Yes, it is quite remarkable, isn't it? Mr. Liam is waiting for you inside, miss," he said, gesturing towards the entrance where a staff member was waiting to greet her.Elena stepped out of the car and thanked Steven for dropping off Scarlett earlier.

As Elena turned to face Liam, she was surprised to find that Joseph had left while she was lost in admiration of the mansion's beauty.

His athletic physique was on full display, and Elena couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his presence.Liam gestured towards the dining table, saying, "Shall we eat first before we get into the details of our meeting?"Elena nodded, still a little taken aback by the sight of him. As they made their way over to the table, Liam explained, "I wasn't sure what you would like to eat, so I told my chef staff to prepare all kinds of food."Elena's eyes widened in shock as she took in the sight of the lavish spread before her. There were platters of freshly caught seafood, plates of succulent meats, and a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits. The aroma of the food filled the room, making E
Realizing that he needed to give her space to think, Liam added, "You don't have to answer right away, just take your time and think about it. And even if you say no, it's okay. I'll look for another lady if I have to. Although, I hope you would agree"Elena's mind was racing as she considered Liam's offer. The idea of a fake marriage was daunting, but she couldn't deny the potential benefits it could bring. Liam was offering her the chance to start her own software company with his support and connections. And if she agreed to his proposal, she would also be helping him fulfill his father's wishes."Liam, I appreciate your offer," she finally said, her voice calm but hesitant. "But this is a big decision, and I need some time to think it over. Can I let you know in a few days?"Liam nodded understandingly. "Of course, Elena. Take your time. This is a big decision for both of us, and I want you to be sure before you make any commitments."With that, the two of them finished their wine

Liam braced himself, knowing what was coming next."I think Isabella would be a perfect match for you. You two would make a great couple," his mom suggested.Liam's anger flared up instantly. "Mom, I am old enough to make my own decisions. I don't appreciate you meddling in my personal life," he retorted.His mom was taken aback by his outburst. "I'm sorry, Liam. I just want what's best for you. If you don't want to marry Isabella, then at least find a girl from a prestigious family," she said, her voice tinged with anger.Liam was about to respond when his mom abruptly ended the call. He sighed and shook his head, frustrated with the never-ending pressure to conform to his family's expectations.He slumped back onto his bed, feeling the weight of his mother's expectations still pressing down on him. He knew that he needed to make a decision about Elena soon, but he couldn't shake the feeling that his mother would try anything possible to get Isabella married to him " She won't" he si

As she looked around the room, Isabella noticed the curious glances of some of the other guests, and she couldn't help but wonder what they might be thinking. She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the disappointment.Unbeknownst to Isabella, her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red, her makeup unable to conceal the embarrassment that washed over her. Sensing the uncomfortable gazes of onlookers, she awkwardly made her way to Gianna, who was seated nearby, and took refuge beside her friend.Mr. Taylor and Mr. Ford, seated at a table in the center of the hall with Gianna, were delighted by Isabella's presence. They greeted her warmly, showering her with compliments and helping her feel more at ease.As the evening progressed, a former high school classmate of Isabella's, who had since become a celebrity, approached her.

We fired her the same day you asked us to!" Mr. Ford stammered."Then how did she get an invite to this event, if she was really fired?" Isabella shot laser-like glares at Gianna and her bosses, her anger boiling over. She felt like slapping them with the glass of wine in her hand.Gianna tried to explain, "I don't know, Isabella.Isabella's grip tightened on the wine glass as she imagined hurling it at Elena and Liam, shattering the glass and sending shards flying everywhere.
